The greatest scientist of the 20th century, and no one knows his
name. This documentary tells the inspiring story of Dr. Maurice
Hilleman, a man with a singular, unwavering focus: to eliminate the
diseases of children. From his poverty-stricken youth on the plains of
Montana, he came to prevent pandemic flu, invent the
measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, and develop the first-ever vaccine
against human cancer.
Responsible for more than half of the vaccines children receive
today, he is credited with saving more than eight million lives every
year. Now through exclusive interviews with Dr. Hilleman and his peers,
rare archival footage, and 3-D animation, this film puts a human face to
vaccine science, revealing the character that drove this bold, complex,
and heroic man.
